This study examined residents’ awareness of green building features in Ibadan municipality Nigeria with a view to providing information for policy makers, developers, and investors in real properties on the extent to which residents are aware of green building and its features. Systematic random sampling was adopted because of the large population of residents within the five local government within Ibadan municipality. A total of 270 samples were selected for survey appraisal and questionnaires were administered to household heads in each situation. Descriptive statistics was used to analyse the obtained data. The study confirms that only 34.8% of the residents were aware of green building features and 65.2% were not aware. The study also revealed that the major sources of awareness were through the television and the internet. It was established that residents have knowledge of features like indoor air quality (2.93), energy conservation (2.59), site selection, design and land ecology (2.62), owner occupant education (2.55), water conservation (2.75) and material conservation (2.49). Furthermore, the study reveals that residents were moderately aware of green building features across the three residential zones and the level of awareness increased from low density zone to high density zone. Although, the awareness level was low among uneducated folks of the population. Therefore, it was recommended that there should be proper advocacy by policy makers for the adoption of green features in the residential buildings from low to high density areas.
